We try our to get to a project in a timely manner and keep our clients update on our scheduling. Sometimes being a very small company, we (I the owner) lose track of a new project, especially when it is not in an area that we typically work in. To the client, I am sorry for not keeping her update. I do promise that we are worth wait and that we do everything possible to leave a landscape in better condition than we started. We also are welling to work with a client when we have lost them in the shuffle as far as price. I have been known to not markup our plants when we missed schedule a project. Thank you ray Forrest owner and professional landscape architect.

It went very very well. The yard was beautiful by the time of the First Communion and flourished during the summer. The only real casualties were these very pretty but apparently fragile red leafed azaleas (3 out of 4 died). But the rest is absolutely gorgeous, even now (late September). I would definitely use his company again and recommend him to anyone.
Description of Work: My husband was working in South Korea and we had to get the yard ready for our youngest daughter's first communion. Raymond came over and discussed what might work and how we could clean up and add interest to the backyard and some items in the front. He cleaned the beds, planted a variety of new plants, trimmed the crazy azaleas and camelias.

Flowerbeds were updated. Raymond did them himself without any assistance. It started raining before he finished. I told him he could come back but he insisted on staying until the rain stopped so he could finish. Did a good job, would hire him again.

My husband usually maintains our rental property when there is no tennant, but he was injured and required knee surgery and months of physical therapy so I turned to Angie's list to find someone to do yard makntanence for us. i called several different companies, but Raymond was the first to respond and was very professional and seemed perfect for the job. Raymond does a good job when he does show up, but with no set schedule and rarely any notice before he shows up, it's difficult to give him a better rating. There was an incident when he claims he mowed the property, but it clearly had not been attended to judging from the knee-high grass in the backyard. He claims I will not be billed for that week, but I have yet to see an invoice for services. Overall I will continue to use him until I get a new tenant, but the lack regular contact would keep me from recommending him to friends.

They were efficient and got the work done in a timely fashion. They accomplished everything right. It was a good price. He used younger workers, which was fine. He had a nephew and a young girl. It wasn’t exactly what I had thought with a company like that.

terrible, as described above.
Description of Work: First date of service was April 27th; agreed to pay him $45 to cut, edge, weed eat. Paid him $60, to do extra weed eating on a small patch of ground cover next to the back deck. As he was leaving, he said he forgot to do the extra weed eating on ground cover, but had to go, and would come back on Sunday. He never showed up. I should have fired him right then, but tried to give him another chance, but had to track him down. He would never committ to a schedule. My son (who lives in N.O.) cut the yard in May, and only until June 6, did Raymond Forrest come back to do my yard. I still gave him an extra $10 (why?). He never came back. . . . finally, I called Raymond, as a courtesy call, and fired him. He was replace by Dukes Lawn Service, my neighbors lawn maintance crew. They are totally pro's at what they do, dependable, efficient , get in and out in a timly fashion, and do an outstanding job.

Ray responded the same day I called, and said he would come by to give me an estimate on cutting my grass on a weekly basis. Ray has been cutting my grass for a few months now and does a good job, and responds to all of my requests. Very nice guy, and has other landscaping skills which I plan to use.

He came to inspect the property and discuss the details of what we wanted together with a time deadline by which we needed the landscaping finished. He spent about two hours with us, taking notes and measurements. He made a point of telling us his qualifications and how professional and diligent he was. He told us that he would get back to us with a price for the yard and bed maintenance in 2 or 3 days, but it would take a couple of weeks to work up a plan and an estimate for the landscaping. Over two weeks passed and we hadn't heard from him, so we called. He didn't even remember us. After stuttering and stammering a bit, he told us how very busy he had been and that other people had been waiting longer. He was somewhat rude but promised to get back to us in a few days. We haven't heard from him since.
Description of Work: Discuss doing lawn and bed maintenance as well as a landccaping project.

Response from Sasquatch Designs Landscape And Maintenance
In response to Member review, first all, I do stutter and it has been a language disorder that I have lived with all my life. I will be 44 in July. The Stuttering has not held me back from recieving two degrees from LSU and passing all the necessary exams to become a professional Landscape Architect and business owner for 19 plus years. Next, to my recognition during our meeting, no deadlines were discuss on when the project needed to be completed by. I told them that I would try to have something in a couple of weeks but could not promise. When [member name removed] called approximately 1.5 weeks later, I informed that I did not have anything for her yet and that I would try to have something within the next week depending on my daytime work load. I work hands on projects during the day out in the field, and I put 12 to 15 hours per day in out in the field doing labor as my help does. At night, I work on Estimates and Invoices. Clients that have been with me since the beginning of the company will testify to fact that I do get my hands dirty, that treat all my clients and their property with a lot of respect, and that I work really hard at trying to please all my clients no matter the size of the project. I did stutter during both meetings. During our meeting, we discuss charges for designs/drawings and how I normally charge for project. I informed her and her husband that I do not charge for designs/drawings that do not go to a review board unlike many of my fellow professional landscape architects. I do this as appreciation to clients considering my company for the work. As far as charging for projects, I informed them that I charge time plus materials all projects except for grass cutting. During our meetings both at their house and on the phone, I informed them what my hourly rate is for landscape maintenance and approximately how long we should spend performing landscape maintenance. The day that she called that I thought that She was calling to see when we could cut her grass and do some landscape maintenance. I tried to inform her that we would be in her subdivision that at another client's house and I could get her landscaping maintenance. I did realize who she was on the phone but with my stuttering I could not get a chance to explain to her. In the end from other reviews on Angie's list, I hope future clients see how dedicated I am to my clients and that for a very small company we do a really great job keeping up with our clients. Also I just added to the staff a great new assistant project manager from Port Allen, LA. She understands what hard work is and how important our clients are. God Bless all of you and have a great Year

Raymond was very prompt in returning my initial call. He met with my husband and me twice before beginning the job. He kept us informed as to when he would arrive, and if there was a delay due to weather or circumstance, he would inform us. He was knowledgeable and meticulous about the completion of the job to our satisfaction. We were confident that he was honest. We would use him again.
Description of Work: Raymond Forrest and his crew did an excellent job. He cleaned out flower beds and added mulch and fertilized the plants. He pruned our shrubs. He put in an irrigation system for the flower beds. He added decorative brick around the edge of the flower beds. He dug 4 french drains in the back yard.

We added at no cost a few plants in a flowerbed that the client had. We had very little markup on this project and even drove back and fertilize the sod and checked on it .

I had a design in mind for raised planter boxes. Raymond discussed them with me and we agreed upon a price. As he was buying the materials he redesigned the boxes to be less costly while more attractive. He built them within the time frame he had agreed upon and charged me about 20% less than he quoted me because of the material savings. I was very pleased with his service.
Description of Work: I had Raymond remove some shrubbery and build three raised planter boxes. He did an excellent job below budget. Will defintely use him again.

He gave me an Estimate over the phone based on what i told him. The actual job should have cost more so i gave him more because of the great work. I would have him do any type of Yard work that needed to be done. Love what he did for us. Looks awesome
Description of Work: He laid out some Pavers and Crushed Limestone. He had to start by removing dirt from the area and actually took the time to put it in some holes that our dog made in back yard. He really took the time to make sure everything was done as perfect as it can be.
